Tomatillo Sauce

  • 1 1/2 lb. fresh tomatillos or 2 (13 oz.) cans tomatillos
  • 2 green chiles, charred, peeled and seeded
  • 3 jalapeno chiles, partially seeded, veins removed
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • 1/2 c. chicken broth
  • 1/4 c. rice vinegar
  • 1 tbsp. light oil
  • 1 tsp. ground cumin
  • 1/4 to 1/2 c. cilantro, snipped
  • Salt to taste
  • 2 tbsp. lime juice
  • 1 tsp. sugar

After removing dry husks from tomatillos, rinse them well under warm water to remove some of the stickiness. Cut into quarters. Cut chiles and jalapenos into pieces. Add garlic and chop to a coarse puree using the pulse button of the food processor. Place mixture in saucepan and simmer everything except cilantro, 12-15 minutes.
